Original Basin Management Structure
o Emphasis Placed On Groundwater Supply Related
Facilities (Wells, Reservoirs, Booster Plants)
o Reliance Upon Groundwater Replenishment Deliveries
Interruptible Supply/Replenishment Rate (~$100/AF
Interruptible Rate Reduction)
30,000 To 50,000 AFY
Why is Groundwater So Important to the Valley?

Main Basin Judgment – 1972 (40 Years Of Basin Management)
o Physical Solution “Conjunctive Use” Of Surface Water, Groundwater, Supplemental Water, And
Groundwater Storage – Not A New Concept
Annual Operating Safe Yield Established Based On Current Hydrologic
Conditions – Extractions Without Replacement Water Fee
Allows/Anticipates Over Production To Meet Demands – Replacement Water
Depends On Reliable Untreated Supplemental Water To Replace Over
Production
o Responsible Agencies Deliver Supplemental Water As Replacement

MWD Untreated Imported Water Deliveries o Replenishment Water Rate
“Good Ol’ Days” Historically Available 1972-2007; Replenishment
Water On Interruptible Basis
MWD Cyclic Storage Account (140,000 AF To 100,000 AF
Capacity)
Allowed MWD To Deliver/Store Significant Volume Of Surplus
Water ; Interruptible, Cyclic Storage ± 50,000 AF
Replenishment Rate (Most Recently $442/AF V. $560/AF For Tier
1, Untreated, Full-Service Water)
Historically Never Subject To Readiness To Serve (RTS) Charge
(Only FIRM Deliveries Not Interruptible Deliveries)
Replenishment Rate Suspended In May 2007

Each Year Board Considers Several Factors:
o Current and projected groundwater elevation at the Key Well.
o Historical and current hydrologic conditions within the Basin
o Rainfall
o Storage of local runoff in surface reservoirs
o Conservation of local runoff
o Availability of supplemental imported water
o Quantity of water in Cyclic Storage
o Carry-over rights
o Other
Establishing The Operating Safe Yield

Basin Replenish Reliability Opportunities
o Under Physical Solution Continue To Work With MWD For Firm/Reliable
Untreated Water Supply (Annual Contract?) Develop A Supplemental Recycled Water Program Promote Conservation Fully Develop Capacity to Capture Large Storm
Events
o Limited Options Without Physical Solution Limit Production To Basin Natural Safe Yield Construct New Treated Water Connections To MWD
And Develop Increased Allocation

So California Coastal Plain is a dry regiono Some areas rely heavily on imported water
SGV groundwater can sustain us through several years of drought
Improvements needed to enhance water supply reliability
o Maximize groundwater storage opportunitieso Additional infrastructure to maintain
groundwater levels, increase operational flexibility
